Abstract
In some embodiments, a plurality of first input waveforms having a same first input transition characteristic and different first tail characteristics are obtained. A first cell is characterized using the plurality of first input waveforms to create a plurality of corresponding first entries associated with the first input transition characteristic in a library. A design layout is generated based on performing circuit simulation using at least one entry of the plurality of first entries. An integrated circuit (IC) chip is manufactured using the design layout.
